More Encouragement From The Lord

As many of us look around and see the wicked seemingly prosper (like Hillary running for President instead of sitting in jail where she belongs) while the righteous are persecuted, there is the temptation to fret or even get angry about it.  Don't do it says the Lord.  I was standing in line at the grocery store the other day and as I pondered the wicked (and those that support the wicked) the Lord gave me this gem that actually turned my frown upside down:

Psalm 37:12The wicked plot against the righteous

and gnash their teeth at them;

13The wicked plot against the righteous

and gnash their teeth at them;for he knows their day is coming.

You want some good news?  Hillary and all the rest of the crooked, murderer, thief, liar politicians along with everyone who support them has their day coming.  The Lord is not up in heaven wringing His hands over these people, no He is laughing at them!

13but the Lord laughs at the wicked,

for he knows their day is coming.

Guess what?  Justice will be done.  All those who oppose upholding the rule of law, justice, righteousness, peace and everything else our God and His laws stand for, those people
's day is coming.

Some may say "wow brother D, that doesn't sound very forgiving or loving etc?"  To which I would say I did not write Psalm 37, the Spirit of the Most High God did.  Why did He write that?  To encourage us.  Here it is again said another way:

2 Peter 2:7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

Aren't we who belong to our Father in heaven the ones who are now tormented and distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless around us?  Yes we are, and what does the Lord say about our situation?  We will be rescued from it and the unrighteous will be punished for it.  Our job is to be patient in affliction and joyful in hope, knowing that justice is on its way

Romans 12:9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Be encouraged brothers and sisters, our God is not sleeping.  He is alive and very active. fulfilling His every Word to the letter.

grace and peace,
